Real-Draw Pro for Windows

• An interesting piece of software

  5bombsnostarsJuly 17, 2014

  Pros

  It has some nice features that aren't too hard to figure out yourself. It has other more difficult features for a novice, which I may always be. Kids would probably have a lot of fun playing around.

  Cons

  I got my copy years ago and just played around with it until I found something better. The primary reason is that it has a max resolution of 1800X1600 px. It doesn't tell you that until you try to increase it. This is why it doesn't get at least 4 stars from me. I need a larger canvas.

  Summary

  I'd say under $20 for a product which has remained unchanged since 2009 and can't generate larger canvases.. It wouldn't be difficult to update and give it higher density screens. I had fun with it for a while and I may again, just to play.

• Not bad but a bit buggy

  ReadyPROSeptember 8, 2013

  Pros

  1) Basic Photo Editing - 3 of 5 stars 2) Graphics and text generation - 4 of 5 stars 3) graphics and text together with photos - 5 of 5 stars

  Cons

  1) Basic photo editing can make photos quite pix-elated 2) The software needs a lot of memory to edit large photos 3) Even with the best hardware the software is buggy. I usually crashes every 30 days or so.

  Summary

  I like the software mostly because I have been using it for at least 4 years. I hope they keep improving it.

• Didn't get a chance to try this program

  jbeaumont_usApril 29, 2013

  Pros

  No Pros!!!

  Cons

  I tried to download this program and had several issues. First when I clicked "install program" it just shut down the installer, then Windows Security Essentials started popping up in my desktop warning me about a potentially dangerous program on my computer, then when I started my browser again, I found my homepage changed to a cheap looking search engine which was loaded with pop-up adverts. I would definitely NOT reccomend downloading this program!!

• Might be turning me into a graphic artist.

  5bombsnostarsJanuary 13, 2011

  Pros

  As other reviews indicate, it has a large number of capabilities and effects which can be used for interesting images. I found it easy to use and inexpensive enough for me to buy without qualms.

  Cons

  I haven't really found any yet, but I may find some as I become more adept with it.

  Summary

  If I am an artist, I use it to commit art for 6-12 hours a day. If I'm not an artist I just spend that enjoyable time farting around on my computer. I actually do design images for use on some consumer products like t-shirts, baseball caps, bumper stickers, neckties, mouse pads, "political" buttons, etc. for Zazzle.com. (Look it up!) I've actually sold some of them (although I'm not quite sure why anyone does buy them) on three continents. A great program. I get lost in it for hours at a time without realizing it. I've produced logos, geographic compilations, three website headers and just a bunch of crap that nobody but I will ever appreciate. Buy it just for FUN!

• Real Draw Pro is...

  RR1KNovember 24, 2009

  Pros

  Price, fractal designer, transparency and color models, bump mapping, selective light source creation, slews of presets, bevels, lens flare, many different output rendering choices, and too much more to list here. TRY the demo.

  Cons

  Could use better SVG import and export mechanisms, also could benefit from a better Adobe PSD export mechanism. Would also largely benefit from offering users an interface to design presets and fine tune existing ones like bevels and caustics.

  Summary

  For the price you will not get better and that's is a fact. I've been using Real Draw Pro since version 3.x starting back in 2003 and haven't looked back since. It's roughly $60 and as close to Adobe Illustrator as you're going to get for under $100 anywhere that I know of. My only gripe is that the .svg file management of RDPro could use a touch up so it would work better with other graphics tools like Ink Scape. Outside of about three complaints, you can really get a great deal done with this designer/editor. It has facilities for web design and image slicing as well as scripting tools for your sliced up images. The learning curve demands about 90 days for a fairly moderate skill level increase with the tool but, the results will be painfully evident.

• Doesn't run under W98SE

  asurSeptember 11, 2009

  Pros

  No way to tell pros.

  Cons

  Installs but won't run.

  Summary

  Operating system compatibility should be updated. Mediachance's own website doesn't list W98.
